I don't know if the real character would be this big... but it goes with the other ones so it's still included with the other life sized characters. :P
Here's Astro, the family dog of Hanna-Barbera's "The Jetsons".
This is one of the last pictures I took last fall. This old church is in Kingston, NB.

On January 4th I was diagnosed with stage 4 pancreatic cancer, spread to my liver. The doctor gave me the prognosis of 6 months without treatment or 12 – 18 months with. I’m currently on chemotherapy. Having a doctor tell you this changes everything. Things that used to be important seem irrelevant now, and the things that I used to take for granted are very significant.
I am so thankful for my faith in God at this time. I’ve had many people tell me over the past few months that they wish they had my faith. I have complete peace because my faith is not in chemotherapy, or in an oncologist, or even in maintaining a positive attitude. My faith is in the Almighty God.
I have learned how important the attributes of God are as revealed in the Bible. First, the Bible says that God is good. Psalm 34:8 says, “O taste and see that the LORD is good: blessed is the man that trusteth in him.” Second, that God is all powerful. If God was good, but didn’t have the power to perform his goodness, this attribute would be comforting, but not a real help. Fortunately, dozens of times God is called “Almighty” in the Bible. Jeremiah 32:17 says, “Ah Lord GOD! behold, thou hast made the heaven and the earth by thy great power and stretched out arm, and there is nothing too hard for thee.” God not only is good, but he has all the power to show His goodness to us. Although these two attributes are comforting, they are meaningless if God was good and all-powerful a thousand years ago, but He’s changed today. Fortunately, there is another attribute that is a great comfort to me: the fact that God doesn’t change. Malachi 3:6 says, “For I am the LORD, I change not; therefore ye sons of Jacob are not consumed.” I can be confident that God is good, and able to do good for me because he is all-powerful, and the same God that had these attributes when the Bible was written is exactly the same today for me. Having an accurate understanding of who God is helps us through difficult times.
God gave me a verse from the Bible back in November, before I even had a diagnosis. Philippians 1:20, “According to my earnest expectation and my hope, that in nothing I shall be ashamed, but that with all boldness, as always, so now also Christ shall be magnified in my body, whether it be by life, or by death.” I don’t know what the future holds. If the doctors are right, I may have only until the 4th of July next year before I go out like American Independence Day fireworks. If that’s the case, I am ready, because I know where I’m going. However, because my faith is in the Almighty God and not in medicine or a doctor, I know that I will not die one second before God is finished with me on this earth. Because of this, I am in complete peace. He could heal me. I know that “Christ will be magnified in my body” no matter what. If I live, I have one more day to magnify Christ. If I die, I know that Christ will be magnified.
Do you have the same confidence? You can. I don’t consider myself to be “religious”. I just believe the Bible. It was written over a 1500 year period by 40 human authors of various backgrounds, yet it's unity can only point to the fact that it's real author is God. It's accuracy has been proven through fulfilled prophecies, and present discoveries in archaeology and science have never proved it in error. People have tried to point out contradictions in the Bible only to show their ignorance of it. Others have tried to prove it wrong with extensive study only to become believers.
All religions are basically the same. They all have a list of rules that you need to keep to be acceptable to God. Religion is a to-do list. It’s interesting that even the religions that call themselves “Christian” and say they are based on the Bible and believe in Jesus still have a list of rules. Jesus came to pay for the sins of the whole world. Just before Jesus died, he said “It is finished!” Everything was done. Jesus had paid for everyone’s sin for all time and there is nothing left for us to do but to accept his payment for our sin by faith. If we accept Jesus payment for us, we are acceptable to God. There’s nothing left on the to-do list, it’s completely checked off.
Ephesians 2:8-9 says, “For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: Not of works, lest any man should boast.”
Galatians 2:16 says, “Knowing that a man is not justified by the works of the law, but by the faith of Jesus Christ, even we have believed in Jesus Christ, that we might be justified by the faith of Christ, and not by the works of the law: for by the works of the law shall no flesh be justified.”
Death isn't the end. Jesus says in John 11:25-26, "Jesus said unto her, I am the resurrection, and the life: he that believeth in me, though he were dead, yet shall he live: And whosoever liveth and believeth in me shall never die. Believest thou this?"
We all must be ready for life after death. You're not ready to live until you're ready to die.

He went on telling me about his life while I was taking his photo, and then he said "I used to be a graphic designer. The first business meeting I went to they said half a million dollars wasn't enough. But I'm here asking for loonies and toonies."-Matt Alvarez (right)

Oh, love, don’t let me go

I can hear the silent sound
Now my feet won’t touch the ground
